    Brief

    Hartlepool Borough Council seeks to address a critical shortage of local foster carers by commissioning a data-driven digital marketing recruitment campaign. The Council currently faces sustained pressure in meeting the needs of children in care, which has resulted in increased reliance on higher-cost Independent Fostering Agencies and residential placements, affecting both financial sustainability and placement stability for children. The selected supplier will utilise advanced analytics and large-scale consumer data to identify and target individuals most likely to become foster carers. This is a specialist service requiring proven expertise in data-led recruitment methodology at scale. The successful delivery of this campaign will support improved outcomes for children in care while contributing to the financial sustainability of the Council's fostering service.
